Arizona School Projects

School districts throughout the country face the problem of providing adequate classroom space for a growing number of our nation's children. School districts are asking state and federal officials for help and guidance in funding tomorrow's classrooms for today's students.

School Districts are needing:

School Districts want Less:

Faster Construction                                       


Structural Integrity  
Cost Savings                   
Better Insulation  
 
Soundproofing
Low Maintenance
Environmentally Friendly

       Wind Infiltration
       Moisture  Penetration      
       Less Toxic Materials
       Less Maintanance












                 

    

   REASONS WHY COMMERICAL AND 
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION SHOULD USE AAC

Timely construction by faster erection and elimination of four or more of the sub-trades

Cost savings in over-all construction, design and availability of materials

4-hour fire rating
R-20 equivalent with 8" panels

STC 51 with 8" panels

Completely inert, no noxious fumes, no carcinogens

Easily repairable, won't deteriorate or decompose

Impervious to termites, rodents and insects


MORE REASONS TO USE AAC FOR COMMERICAL AND RESIDENTIAL BUILDING

Tongue & groove interlocking panels

Recycles waste products, no hazardous emissions during manufacturing

Closed cell composition resists moisture penetration

An experienced team can erect 40 sq. ft. of wall every 4-6 minutes

Energy absorbing cellular composition resists fracturing when impacted

Vast array of architectural features can be easily applied

Prefabricated panels include reinforcing steel cage



SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, FIRE DEPARTMENTS, DAY CARE CENTERS, REST HOMES, THEATRES
ALL SHOULD BE BUILT USING AAC (AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE)
EXAMPLE:      In Florida, statewide overcrowding of schools resulted in the construction of more than 20,000 portable classrooms with potentially long-term safety risks.  Inspections of many portable classroom anchors were found to be inadequate, leaving children in jeopardy when faced with severe winds and storm-prone weather.

MISSION:      A planning team set out to design and build permanent buildings to replace the existing school portables. The plans called for a four-classroom building that would be affordable, functional, energy efficient, flexible in design, match existing schools' facades, and most important, put the safety of the children first.

SOLUTION:  From this design, AAC products were pre-cut to architectural and structural requirements. The AAC School System, was shipped to the job site ready to install.

With safety as the number one priority, the AAC School System included a permanent anchoring system, ideal against high winds. AAC School Systems are reinforced with steel cages, which meet structural requirements to increase protection of students.
Autoclaved Aerated Concrete, or AAC's noncombustible composition
provides up to FOUR HOURS OF FIRE RESISTANCE
 AAC has high compressive strength, durability and superior air quality.
AAC products provide fast construction, cost effectiveness, energy efficiency,
AAC has design flexibility, great acoustic attenuation and superior thermal insulation.
AAC products are long lasting; they aren't subject to deterioration, weathering or aging. 
AUTOCLAVED AERATED CONCRETE products are FREE OF POLLUTANTS.
